The Favored Son of Heaven

It can’t be diffused… it can’t be diffused…

Qin Fen let out a long sigh. Ten minutes later and there was still no progress at all. These true energies were having guerrilla warfare. When you start your chase, they would scatter everywhere. After a slight pause, these true energies would start banging against the meridian. It was like locusts feeding on harvest.

Weird true energy! Qin Fen’s two eyebrows furrowed, forming a hash symbol [1]. No wonder that man dared to leave with just one punch, not worried about the recovery of the person that was attacked. If someone didn’t have a body that was strong enough, he would have long been paralyzed from physical exhaustion and could only watch as his body become engulfed by this weird true energy.

How to eliminate this weird true energy? Qin Fen’s index and middle finger kept changing rhythms while he tapped on the edge of the bed repeatedly.

Danglang… pa…

In the quiet corridor, a series of sounds was heard suddenly, attracting the attention of the people around.

A little nurse in white, whose cheeks were flushed, squatted down immediately to pick up the tray that slipped out of her hand due to her lack of attention, as well as the shattered glassware that was once on the tray.

Sound? Qin Fen’s wrinkled eyebrows spread apart suddenly. His ears listened to the unique sound that the tray made when it fell to the ground.

This is? Qin Fen slowly closed his eyes and sank into the real energy world in his body once again.

The emission of the sound was made at a special frequency, produced by the vibration of the air. If the true energy could be scattered into every vein of the body, causing the true energy to oscillate constantly, then the weird true energy…

Qin Fen dispersed the hammer-like true energy that gathered in his body. He distributed them bit by bit into every one of his meridians, and the true energy trembled slightly at the same time.

Oscillation had failed.

Qin Fen’s mouth showed a bitter smile. To control all the true energy within each and every meridian in his body and release a similar vibration intensity at the same time was a lot more difficult than the previous continuous control power.

Control power? The bitter smile of Qin Fen’s mouth became more apparent. The true energy control power used during the two-star against four-star battle in the day actually made him a little happy. Who knew that, in the blink of an eye, this level of control power became nothing worth being proud of or happy about.

There needs to be a stronger control power in order to produce an oscillation. And only when the oscillation is produced, under the influence of each other, could the weird true energy be shattered.

After taking in a deep breath slowly, Qin Fen once again immersed in the true energy world in his body. He spread out the true energy strip by strip and tried to achieve the most equal distribution.

Oscillate… fail… oscillate… fail…

Qin Fen’s body that was lying on the bed bounced suddenly from time to time, making it seem like he was being electrocuted by a pacemaker.

Zhao Huzi held his chin and said, “What is this therapy?”

Putong… putong…

Qin Fen’s back left the bed, and he let out a deep sigh in his heart. I failed again this time. When the synchronous oscillation of the body’s true energy is generated, he should be able to be still like the dead.

“Hey? Why are you not jumping now?” Zhao Huzi put his face close to the glass and widened his eyes, “Your face has turned a bit rosy, it seems like you are recovering?”

Success! Qin Fen opened his eyes with excitement. The true energy in his body had finally produced synchronized oscillations. The weird true energy that was flowing in his body had also reacted a little bit.

I can do it! Qin Fen’s eyes closed with a smile. The oscillation of the true energy could really kill off this weird invasive true energy. 

Putong …

Qin Fen’s back left the bed again. The precision of control that he had at the beginning could not be grasped completely. He pouted and once again immersed himself back into it.

Zhao Huzi looked at Qin Fen on the bed, confused. His body would jump from time to time as if it was electrocuted by a pacemaker and then return to the calmness of the dead. And as the number of pacemaker-like jumps became less, the time of the dead-like calmness lengthened slowly.

Oscillate… oscillate…

As the true energy oscillated again and again, the invaded true energy in his body was decomposed bit by bit, and the injured organs in his body recovered bit by bit.

Qin Fen had forgotten completely to pay attention to the existence and disappearance of the weird true energy. His attention was focused completely on the oscillation of the true energy. Every time the true energy oscillated, in addition to the true energy disappearing, the cells in his body also seemed to undergo a rearrangement along with the oscillation.

With every oscillation of the true energy, it would produce an interaction between the true energies. In between oscillations, the true energy showed a silent trend of improvement along with every oscillation.

The flow of the true energy that was visible under the skin in the beginning had disappeared without a trace. The anxiety and uneasiness in Zhao Huzi’s eyes disappeared slowly and was replaced with a glow of surprise. How did Qin Fen do it?

Weng… weng… weng…

The oscillation of the interaction between the true energies became stronger and stronger. The blood in his body had also started to follow the oscillation of the true energy. The sound of the blood vibrating was pulsing slowly under the ringing of the instrument.

“General.” The lieutenant took a phone call and said in Zhao Huzi’s ear, “The culprit has been caught, would you like to go have a look?”

“It seems that this kid is okay.” Zhao Huzi gave a long sigh, turned and told Xing Wuyi and the others, “You guys look after him. Without my permission, no one is allowed to enter this room. If anyone wants to barge in, regardless of who that person is, shoot immediately! If anything happens, I will handle it!”

As Zhao Huzi turned around, Xing Wuyi saw his bell-like eyes beaming with a fierce gaze, and he even muttered, “Who exactly has problems with me, old Zhao? Want to break my rank promotion channel? You better hide deeper! Otherwise, if you let me find you, you will be dead meat.”

“Who could it be? Qin Fen, who are his enemies? To the point where death was the only solution.” Xing Wuyi pushed the gold-rimmed spectacles on the bridge of his nose and locked his gaze tightly on Qin Fen, “Suffering from such major injury, how is he going to fight in the upcoming martial arts tournament? Caesar, Yang Lie, these people are not easy to deal with. Now, what are the odds of Qin Fen winning?”

Oscillation. The last bit of the weird invaded true energy had vanished with the special oscillation frequency of the true energy. Qin Fen once again opened his mouth to spit out a smoldering gas, and his eyebrows raised slightly. His true energy actually improved with the oscillation. Although it was only slightly, it was indeed increased! If homogenous true energy was transporting in his meridian at the same time the true energy oscillated, what would happen if it randomly got oscillated by this true energy?

Boom!

The finger Xing Wuyi used to push the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose made a violent tremble suddenly. His eyes that were filled with confusion looked at Qin Fen whose back bounced up suddenly.

This? Xing Wuyi took off the gold-rimmed spectacles given by Du Zhanpeng and rubbed his eyes gently. The height and strength of the bounce earlier, if converted to the value on an electric pacemaker, it would be three times the maximum pulse output in order to reach this extent, right? The whole person bounced up half a foot from the bed board.

Puff…

Qin Fen, who had returned to the bed spurted a pool of blood from his mouth. The true energy in his body exploded like a barrel of dynamite, followed by his internal organs feeling like they were on fire.

“Hu… hu… hu…” Qin Fen gasped and gasped, “Sure enough, the simple control of synchronous vibration of the true energy is already at the limit that I can control at the moment. There is no way for me to split my attention to control the transport of true energy at the same time. Who knew that the true energy forced by a scattered oscillation frequency would cause such a scenario.”

“Qin Fen.” Xing Wuyi pressed the button to talk to the room, and whispered into the microphone, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” Qin Fen used the blood-stained quilt to wipe off the blood at the corner of his mouth. He sat up forcibly and shook his head while smiling bitterly, “There was a little accident.”

Xing Wuyi patted his chest gently, “That’s good, continue your rest, just let me know if you need anything.”

“Okay.”

Qin Fen lied back and checked the condition in his body.

His injured organs that had not yet recovered had now gotten worse. The impact earlier had even injured his arm that had a slight fracture. Besides not having the maggot-like weird true energy, his body had suffered more damage than before.

“Control power… control power…”

Qin Fen’s left hand clenched into a fist and tapped the edge of the bed gently. If the control power was strong enough, using the true energy oscillation method to practice would definitely increase the improvement speed of Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. What was currently lacking was just the level of grasp over the control power. As for the physical injuries, with modern technology, as well as the true energy oscillation therapy, it should be able to recover quickly.

Xing Wuyi’s finger slid gently on the bridge of his nose. He stared, confused at Qin Fen and mumbled, “What’s up with this guy? He’s obviously injured badly, why is there extreme confidence showing between his brows? With no slight grief over the case that his injuries will affect his performance during combat?”

Qin Fen’s room was calm again. The hospital was running as usual, and more than a dozen soldiers with loaded guns patrolled the outside surroundings of the hospital.

Xing Wuyi sighed as he looked at the night sky outside the window, “I wonder, what is the murderer’s motive? To let Qin Fen suffer such heavy injury?”

“The ninth on the blood ranking?” Zhao Huzi took the red metal card from Xue Tian’s hands, “Indeed! This plaque is the identity branding of the blood ranking. But since when did the blood ranking have the ninth place? Didn’t we always know there were eight?”

“General…” Xue Tian pointed to the red metal card, “Blood ranking, what is that?”

“Blood ranking.” Zhao Huzi raised his thick eyebrows, “Why? None of you know?”

Lin Liqiang, Xue Tian, and Chen Feiyu looked at each other and shook their heads.

“It’s not weird that you don’t know.” Zhao Huzi raised his leg and kicked Phantom Blood’s corpse, “You should have heard of the killer profession, right? In the world of killers, there are three big rankings. Dead ranking, murder ranking, and blood ranking!”

Xue Tian also kicked Phantom Blood’s corpse and asked, “The blood ranking is the worst in among the three rankings?”

“Can’t say that.” Zhao Huzi sat on the sofa brought by the adjutant. “The coming of the arrangements of the three rankings are different, so you can’t say which ranking is the strongest. For example, the dead ranking is the most recognized ranking. But the seventh on the blood ranking has the title of The King of Killers. This is even recognized by the higher ranks on the dead ranking. Rumors say that the blood ranking was founded by the person in the seventh place on the blood ranking.”

“The seventh on the blood ranking?” Xue Tian did not understand. “Since he is so ferocious, why isn’t he first on the blood ranking?”

Lin Liqiang, Chen Feiyu nodded along. Why did the arrangements for the blood ranking and the rankings in the killer world sound a little confusing? 

“He is only placed seventh on the blood ranking because he killed less and the data does not qualify him enough to be called the first.” Zhao Huzi shook his head and sighed, “But he is the most expensive, more expensive than the first of the dead ranking.”

“Oh, so it’s like this.” Xue Tian raised his leg and stomped on Phantom Blood’s body a few times, “Then this ninth on the blood ranking, what is he?”

“I’m also not sure about this.” Zhao Huzi spread his hands. “The only certain point is that if one is eligible to enter the blood ranking, then he is definitely not a weakling.”

“Pfft…” Xue Tian sneered. “Come to think of it, the price of the ninth in this blood ranking would not be cheap, right? Who exactly has such deep hatred toward Qin Fen to be willing to spend a large sum of money to kill him. This not something an average family can afford.”

“No matter who it is, this person who hired this killer is in bad luck.” Lin Liqiang stretched his back, “I am afraid that the person still does not know, he offended a person who must not be offended.”

“Must not be offended?” Zhao Huzi looked at Lin Liqiang with amazement. “Kid, who is it?”

“Hehe.” Lin Liqiang grinned and whispered with a mysterious expression, “Secret.”

…

Zhao Huzi stared at Lin Liqiang blankly, and his fierce big mouth split open slowly, “Haha! It’s been a while since someone dared to play me, Old Zhao like this, kid! You suit my appetite! Now, you people can move along and rest. There are still competitions to participate in in the morning.”

“Yes, General.” Xue Tian and Chen Feiyu gave a precise salute, “This corpse shall be your trouble to deal with.”

“Got it, go, go.” Zhao Huzi closed the door and replaced his gaze with a little cautiousness, “Who exactly caused this person’s serious injuries? Why did I not notice the presence of this person? The ninth on the blood ranking is dead, I’m afraid Qin Fen is in trouble. For the reputation of the blood ranking, the killers on the blood ranking will still kill even without a reward. That kid Qin Fen should be a lot better now, right?”

“Qin Fen is much better now.” Xin Wuyi pouted toward Qin Fen behind the glass, “Yo, not sure if he’s asleep or if he’s still practicing.”

“Is that so?” Lin Liqiang raised his chin and looked at Qin Fen carefully. “It seems like he’s still suffering from the heavy injury.”

“No choice.” Xing Wuyi shook his head. “The person who attacked Qin Fen is indeed much stronger than him. It is a miracle that he even survived. If Qin Fen was someone else of the same strength, I’m afraid he would have died on the spot.”

Chen Feiyu nodded gently. Qin Fen was the only one who could defeat the strong body of an eight-level fish scale gorilla with his six-star power. That’s why he could retreat with heavy injuries rather than being killed.

“It was indeed his luck to not die, but after this…” Xue Tian rested his arms on the windowpane of Qin Fen’s room, “I’m afraid that Old Qin will be encountering trouble. The Recruit Tournament would not stop and wait for his treatment and recovery because of his injuries. If he insists on participating, I’m afraid he will have to participate with his injuries.”

“Young Enzo, I am a strong one.” Lin Liqiang leaned back against the window, “Old Qin encountered an ambush, so his injuries are more serious. The standards of this hospital are still alright, they just don’t have a proper pharmaceutical master…”

“Ask the doctor for a detailed report of his condition and send it to me online.” Enzo Rota hung up the phone and reached for the computer by his bed.

“Oh my God.” Lin Liqiang stared at the phone and screamed repeatedly, “Old Qin’s charm is limitless. Old Enzo who usually only has a few words had said a complete sentence.”
